Lance Boen History
| Brief History of the Project |
Back in February of 2008 we were attending the Pleasanton Fly Fishing Show. While we were walking around we ran into an artist from Carmel Valley, CA named Lance Marshall Boen. While our medium of choice is metal, Lance's is leather. Lance makes the most incredible handmade fish on the planet. His artwork is collected globally and has won several awards. One look at his work and we could see unlimited possibilities in metal. For those of you who know his work you know just what I'm talking about. For those who don't please visit his web site at www.streamlineoriginals.com. I'll warn you though, what you are looking at is made of leather so be prepared to be blown away. After talking with Lance for a few months and spitballing some ideas we decided on creating a collection of reels instead of just one or two. In fact, there's 6 different designs on 8 different reels. Well now how does that add up? Like this! Each reel is number sequentially 01/30 - 30/30 and has Lance's signature engraved on top. The paint fill and spindle are a deep root beer color with gold metal flake. The first five numbers in the sequence 01/30 to 05/30 will be sold as complete sets only. All the others are available for individual purchase. The reels come in a sheep skin lined embossed leather pouch inside of a wood wine box. John & Danny |
